The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A retro fantasy quest that feels like an old-school adventure of solving puzzles and meeting colorful characters on the road to confronting evil.

About

Join the quest for a united Camelot. To serve King Arthur. To battle evil. To risk all for the honor of Camelot. Set in the early years of Camelot, you take on the role of Gawain, a heroic young knight about to be ordained into King Arthur's Order of the Round Table. Your quest is to destroy the King's half sister- the evil sorceress Morgana- before she destroys Camelot and all that King Arthur has created. As you travel throughout the kingdom in search of Morgana, interact with a host of colorful characters who will either help or hinder you in your quest. Morgana will use all her powers to defeat you, so you must be quick and ruthless! The future of Camelot depends on your victory.
